IT WAS ALL MINE.. had the whole place to myself..<br /><br />i got so much info my body ached.. talked to this knowlegdable ranger so much about the battle,, he 'tagged out'... he passed me on to another ranger for a break.... o'well,, can't hang.. GET OUT.. NEXT..<br /><br />then to drive around the battlefield brings tears to eyes..momuments,statues, cannons, markers ,all mark the spots.. <br /><br />standin' up on 'little round top' defended by the 20th maine.. lookin' down onto the 'wheat field' & the devils den in the 'valley of death' ..was just overwellin'.. <br /><br /> 51,000 men died in this three day battle. 6,000 just in the wheat field..<br /><br />i'll go back here, for sure..
